The Dwarven Gate was a planar portal beneath Castle Sengir that led from Ulgrotha to an unknown plane.
History[ | ]
Baron Sengir wished to conquer Ulgrotha, then march his troops through the portal to take whatever was on the other side.[1][2]
On the eve of the Great Mending in 4500 AR, the planeswalker Leshrac saw a great army of vampires, marching at the order of Ihsan's Shade.[3] The Baron was last seen at the head of this army, walking through the portal. Wherever is on the other side is surely doomed.[4] Since the Mending the portal is no longer functioning.
